WHITECHAPEL is launching the tour announcement with a brand new video for the song "Nothing Is Coming For Any Of Us". Check it out below.

WHITECHAPEL's latest album, "Hymns In Dissonance", came out in March 2025 via Metal Blade Records. The LP found the bandmembers reinventing themselves, going darker, deeper, and heavier than ever before. Revolver lauded "a blistering attack of ground-fissuring blasts, terror-thrashed guitar melodies and guts-hucking mosh sections." Metal Injection concurred noting, "it's heavy as shit, it's unrelenting, and it will destroy you." MetalSucks championed, "one of WHITECHAPEL's heaviest offerings since the glory days of 'The Somatic Defilement' and 'This Is Exile'," adding, "It captures that same raw energy and mouth-frothing rage in a way that… hasn't been seen for quite some time, but with a new and improved modern twist borne of the nearly twenty years of experience they have accumulated since then," while BLABBERMOUTH.NET hailed the band's "…white-knuckle, weaponized deathcore with brains, brawn, and a point to prove. Hold on to your helmets."

The record earned the No. 2 position on Billboard's Current Hard Rock Albums chart, NO. 3 on Independent Label Current Albums chart, No. 4 on the Current Rock Albums chart and No. 7 on the Digital Albums chart upon its first week of release.

WHITECHAPEL, which formed in Knoxville, Tennessee, in 2006, has seen the core lineup — vocalist Phil Bozeman, guitarists Ben Savage, Zach Householder and Alex Wade, and bassist Gabe Crisp — intact since 2007, with the exception of drummer Brandon Zackey, who has been playing with the band since 2022. While "Hymns In Dissonance" follows 2021's "Kin" chronologically, the new album is actually somewhat of a sequel to "This Is Exile" thematically, the three-word title "Hymns In Dissonance" representing that correlation.

The band started composing the new album at Householder's studio in June of 2023, following their headlining tour for "The Valley". The collective stuck to a strict weekday schedule, the structure allowing for maximum creativity and minimum burnout. Householder produced "Hymns In Dissonance", which allowed the musicians to seamlessly switch gears from pre-production to recording the full album without skipping a beat. The guitarist shadowed producer Mark Lewis a lot over the last five WHITECHAPEL albums and bringing that influence inside the band is a full-circle moment for Householder and WHITECHAPEL.

WHITECHAPEL is:

Phil Bozeman - vocals
Ben Savage - lead guitar
Alex Wade - rhythm guitar
Zach Householder - guitar
Gabe Crisp - bass
Brandon Zackey - drums
